Roni (USA: NJ) (2010/03/31):
A professional sleuth who is a female portrays forensic anthropologist for the State of North Carolina. Her name is Dr. Temperance Brennan known as Tempe. She is a professor at the University of North Carolina. She also works for the Province of Quebec. Tempe is divorced, has a 'free-spirit' sister and a grown-up daughter. As challenge to be a female member of the police department, some of her co-workers hate her and a male detective who irritates and attracts her. throughout the plot, the real excitement is constantly being created because the distractions caused by her personal life interfere with her sleuthing, which the reader can figure out by a few minutes. Despite some of grisly and gloomy details of Tempe's work on dead people, the book is very readable and fast. The nice thing about this book is that it gives you the feel of non-fiction fiction. If bone science doesn't give you the creeps, I suggest taking this book with you on the beach, but it comes with the caveat - there is a lot of snowing in the book - a definitely mental boost if the sun is getting too much for you.
